I would like to enable ntfs support in my fedora core2 x86_64 but I was not able to find a rpm-package of a modified kernel on the web. Does anybody know a link or what options I have to choose if I would compile a new kernel by myself?
regards

Thank's a lot! Ntfs support is up and running. By the way, how safe is it to also enable write support on ntfs partitions? I just noticed that it is not longer marked <experimental> in the kernel options?

trust me...from my experience with attempting to write to ntfs i have had major problems...

really messed up one of my hard drives and instead of trying to fix it, it was so bad, i just sent it back and got a new one... ahhh good ol warrenties... :o
